In late April 2003, a number of historians working on India in the United States received an online petition against the appointment of Romila Thapar, a historian of ancient India, to the Kluge Chair at the Library of Congress. It may seem surprising that such an academic appointment can generate political heat in the expatriate Indian community. Yet the appointment sparked off an orchestrated political campaign on the internet. The petition, entitled "Protest US Supported Marxist Assault Against Hindus," argues that Romila Thapar is responsible for cultural genocide against Hindus.1
